  Because I’m tired of people making flimsy arguments for why LLMs are “akshully really good and underrated.” I’m tired of regular people, wittingly or unwittingly, carrying water for the billionaires who are currently fucking over the economy, the environment, and even entire supply chains in an effort to show—against all evidence to the contrary—that LLMs are much more than fancy chatbots.

  It has been an incessant drone of sloppy arguments and omitted facts, and I am tired, boss.

    The hostility just seems unnecessary and unproductive from my point of view. Unless of course your intention is to hurt - but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’d rather change minds.

    It’s a nuanced discussion, which is why I don’t think either fanaticism or militant opposition is going to get us anywhere. This is a technology community - people should be free to have civil discussions about technology. Criticism is just as valid without the jabs and insults.

      Appreciate the call to reason. Yet, though this may have been sharply worded, insulting it was not.
